“Jazz is in Akina Adderley’s blood, and it flows with a warm mix of old-school soul and R&B.” –Margaret Moser, The Austin Chronicle

“Remember when music was fun and wasn't just an exercise in trying to make chart-topping hits and crafting a flash-in-the-pan image? Akina Adderley certainly does.” –Stewart Smith, The Tyler Morning Telegraph
